Non-Cash Donations

In-kind gifts, or non-cash gifts are critical to the administration of Environmental Learning for Kids (ELK’s) programs. The generosity of our donors who provide new and gently used educational materials and other program supplies needed, help us ensure that youth continue to receive quality science education programs, outdoor experiences, and the opportunity to succeed. Although new items are always accepted, there are some limitations on “gently used” items, such as clothing and camping equipment.

Vehicle Donations

ELK is now accepting vehicle donations! You benefit by being able to reduce your taxable income when taxes are itemized. Plus you avoid the costs associated with selling your car. No need to pay for advertising, no loss of privacy and possible security risk, and no need to pay for vehicle registration, insurance, and repairs to keep your car in running condition while you wait for a buyer. Click here to donate your vehicle, or dial 1-866-628-2277.
